PostgreSQL, we've generally heard, is "good enough" for most intents and purposes.
We'd love to know what YOU think. What's stopped you from using #PostgreSQL in the past, and what solution did you choose instead? When have you opted for #Postgres where it turned out better than expected? 👂 💬

@nprofile…3ffe Would love any suggestions if you have any. We're looking for a platform that's a little more community based than our own individual newsletter.

Innovation is happening around us in tech all the time; it's super helpful to be able to understand how different technologies are evolving and affected by current events. This write up by @nprofile…ah9q is a great reference for a recap of how the database world was affected in 2024, including license changes, acquisitions, and market standings.

Are you considering moving to PostgreSQL 17, or are already there and have been waiting for the latest release from #CitusData?
We are happy to have taken part in addressing an important bugfix thanks to our president @nprofile…t24m resolving "fault tolerance by fixing a segfault when calling distributed procedure with a parameterized distribution argument."

Have you upgraded to the latest minor release of #PostgreSQL yet?
> Threat actors combined a BeyondTrust zero-day (CVE-2024-12356) with a new PostgreSQL vulnerability (CVE-2025-1094).
CVE-2025-1094 allows for SQL injection and shell command execution through PostgreSQL’s psql interactive tool.
> Successful exploitation leads to arbitrary code execution. Affected PostgreSQL versions: 13–17 (fixed in latest patches).

We love PostgreSQL for its resiliency, performance, extensibility, and flexibility in adapting to just about any use case. So, we celebrate Postgres today just like every day and wish you, the users (whether long-standing or brand new!) and the community a very happy Valentine’s Day. May you always experience PostgreSQL as being a database you love, too.

A fun way to start out #Monday here on the west coast - just came across this great aggregated list from @nprofile…vjrg that helps you explore the #Fediverse and some excellent #OpenSource tools: https://tchncs.de/en/

#PostgreSQL is a five-time winner of “#Database Management System (DBMS) of the Year” from DB-Engines (& Redgate) after being compared against 423 other monitored systems! #SnowflakeDB follows, then #Microsoft.
This follows PostgreSQL’s recognition from StackOverflow’s Developer Survey in 2023 and 2024 as the “most popular database”. (And it’s used by 49% of developers as of 2024!)

As we approach the end of 2024, we wanted to take a moment to thank the #PostgreSQL community, & beyond, for a wonderful year of active contributions, engagement, and progress made towards continuing to develop a thriving ecosystem. Given our reliance on #Postgres as a technology underlying an unfathomable amount of data today, we’re grateful to have been part of ensuring its continuance as the world’s most powerful #OpenSource database.
Wishing all a happy and festive holiday season ❄️

Open source is powered by the underlying community. We believe here at Data Bene that investing in community is vital to the success of what's upstream.
We maintain or contribute to such Postgres projects as pgcopydb, pgfincore, and Citus Data; and, our employees help make community events like PG Day Madrid, PG Day Barcelona, and PG Day Lowlands happen.
Attending any of these events? Chances are, we’ll be there – come on by and let’s talk about #Postgres and #OpenSource!
